Brandy Christina Poole, 40, of Morganton, NC, went to her heavenly home on Monday, January 26, 2026.
Born in Burke County, NC on June 6, 1985, she was the daughter of Ricky Pool and Jill Gilley Poole.
Brandy attended Freedom High School and worked at the Jamestown Flea Market. She expressed herself through fashion, jewelry, makeup and decorating. She loved arts and crafts and she had a natural way of turning ordinary things into something beautiful.
Her greatest love, however, was her family, whom she cherished deeply. Brandy’s heart was gentle, creative, and full of love, and she carried that love into everything she did. She also shared a special bond with her beloved cats, Sassy and Bubby, who brought her constant companionship and joy.
Those left to cherish her memory include her daughter, Sara Flack; father, Ricky Poole; mother, Jill Gilley Poole (David Conner); brother, Jacob Conner, sister, Ashley Poole; aunts, Lynn Glass, Dana Sain, and Julie Berry; uncle, Timothy Poole; cousins, Carla Surratt, Trey Glass, Michael Austin, and Cherish Sain; and numerous extended family.
Brandy was preceded in death by her grandmother, Jean Dixon and Pauline Poole; and uncles, Michael Glass and Ronnie Poole.
A celebration of Brandy’s life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Sossoman Funeral Home, PO Box 2608, Morganton, NC 28680 to help with expenses.

Forever thinking of you brandy❤️❤️❤️rest easy sweetheart
Brandy and me went to school together. But after school, we lost touch. The one day out of nowhere, brandy came back into life. I seen her at nara express. And we reconnected. It was during a rally dark time in my life. And she pretty much saved my life. She showed me a different way. She showed me that there was more to life then what I was living. She showed me a part of life that I had never seen. I am alive today because of brandy and even though we lost touch yet again, I have always kept her to very dear to me. To hear of this news is beyond heartbreaking and unreal. I'm so sorry her life was cut so short. It breaks my heart. I have such fond memories of brandy and her smile lit my life like no other has before. Her smile took me to a place that I had never been. Her hugs made me feel like I had a purpose in life. Brandy made me feel like I was a person that was in this earth for a reason. I'm so sorry sweetheart that your life was cut short. I will forever keep you in my memories, and you will always have a place in my heart. Rest easy now, and fly high babygirl. Every time I see a cloud, I will think of you. Everytime the sun shines, it will warm my heart. Forever thinking you brandy.

*Brandy, you were so much fun. I am devastated to hear of this. No one should have to burry someone so young. You will forever be missed, cherished, & loved. Your friend from WAY back Amber Nicole Wood*
I remember when Brandy was pregnant with sweet little Sara. She would stay with us sometimes, and those days were filled with so much joy. My sister and I adored her completely. We’d walk up and down the road, talking about everything and nothing at all. Even though she was a few years older, she always made me feel cherished, never once impatient with spending time together. I know Brandy is now with her family in Heaven, surrounded by love and light, truly at peace.
